preparing for consultant

So I have a long awaited consultant appointment coming up for a bad back, I've had degenerative disks for years, it's cyclical pain so I go to the Drs when it's too bad and that's normally every 2 - 4 years.

I've now been referred to a acute clinic through a private hospital and I feel that since there are 10 years of bad back history I should write some stuff down so I remember, but what do I write?

Your GP ought to give you a letter to take / send giving the basic info.

Some consultants work without this but you can't be sure.

I think I'd not write too much down but think about what you want to happen next.

Treatment- eg options, pros and cons, tests, etc.

The dr should lead and ask you questions so unless you are likely to forget, I'd not write down much except notable events which maybe illustrate the pain etc you have and how it affects quality of life.
